Chapter 576 Oasis Auction
Facts have proved that even an insignificant little person can play a big role.
Zhang Yuan only spent 500 taels of silver to get an invitation to the Crescent Oasis Auction.
According to the warrior leader, the Oasis Auction has a very high entry threshold. Even if an ordinary person is rich, he may not be able to find the temple door even if he is carrying a pig's head.
The auction is held once a month, and all the items auctioned are of extraordinary value, with many different and special categories.
For example, the person being auctioned may be a stunning beauty.
Zhang Yuan knew very well that as a newcomer, he only spent this little money to gain the qualification to participate in the auction.
The main reason is probably that the other party doesn't want him to bear a grudge.
After all, most people would probably be unable to sleep or eat well if they were targeted by a fifth-level strongman who was known for killing people without warning.
After receiving the invitation letter, Zhang Yuan did not continue to wander around in the oasis.
He stayed patiently in the inn until the third morning before going out again.
This time, Zhang Yuan came to the other side of the oasis central lake.
There stood a huge dome tent.
Thick copper pillars were erected around the tent, with long ropes tied to the top of the pillars, which together suspended the top of the tent and were fixed to each other with ropes.
Strong warriors patrolled around the dome tent, appearing to be on high alert.
After showing his invitation letter, Zhang Yuan was led into the tent by a pretty maid.
There were already hundreds of people sitting in the tent, and each of them looked either rich or noble.
Two or three hundred seats face an auction table together.
After Zhang Yuan sat down, the maid brought him drinks, snacks, and a bidding number plate.
The words "one hundred and sixty-seven" were clearly written on it!
Zhang Yuan was playing with the bidding number plate, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
This thing was most likely brought into this world by a celestial being.
It was almost exactly the same as the signs held up for bidding at the auctions in his previous life.
Zhang Yuan had long known that the so-called celestial beings were actually humans from another highly civilized world.
It’s just that the other party came into this world by taking over another’s body.
What’s interesting is that even though hundreds of years have passed since the first celestial being descended, the group of celestial beings did not bring much technological products and knowledge to this plane.
They obviously have extremely strict controls on this!
Perhaps only through such insignificant things can we catch a glimpse of the signs of civilization of another world.
Zhang Yuan was thinking secretly in his mind, while more and more people entered the auction site.
Some of these bidders wore headscarves, some wore cloaks, and some were obviously disguised.
Some also sat in independent small tents - these should be VIP boxes.
After all the seats were filled, a handsome auctioneer stepped onto the auction stage.
He bowed politely to everyone and then announced the start of the auction.
No nonsense, no drag.
The first lot was presented soon.
A huge mysterious sword.
"Number 76, 75,000 taels!"
"Number 19, 80,000 taels!"
"Is there any higher?"
The auction entered a very fierce competition phase from the very beginning, and the bidding prices continued to rise.
Zhang Yuan could even smell a hint of tit-for-tat tension.
In the end, the first lot was sold at a high price of 150,000 taels of silver. This made him, who was attending the Crescent Oasis auction for the first time, truly appreciate the uniqueness of this lawless place.
Then the second item, the third item... one item after another came on stage. In addition to the common items such as weapons and equipment, elixirs and medicinal materials, secrets of martial arts, etc., there were also things such as antique calligraphy and paintings from previous dynasties, rare landscapes, meteorites from outer space, and even strange relics.
During this process, Zhang Yuan only watched and did not take any photos, fully playing the role of a spectator.
And this situation continues until a new item comes on the stage.
"Seven-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, a seven-hundred-year-old treasure from heaven and earth, starting price is three hundred thousand taels!"
Zhang Yuan was immediately cheered up. He didn't expect that he could actually guard the treasure that was looted from the Wu family here.
He didn't rush to bid and waited for a while.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
In addition to Zhang Yuan, many people were interested in this rare treasure, and the price was quickly raised to five hundred thousand.
Zhang Yuan felt that it was about time, so he calmly raised his sign: "Six hundred thousand!"
The benefit of having storage space is that he can carry all of his possessions with him without any impact.
Although Zhang Yuan did not deliberately try to make money in the past two years, he has accumulated a seven-figure fortune through salvaging sunken ships, looting and other channels.
Therefore, we are fully capable of participating in this competition.
"Number one hundred and sixty-seven, six hundred thousand taels!"
The auctioneer called out, "Any higher prices?"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
The competitor did not give up and raised the price again.
Without waiting for the auctioneer to speak, Zhang Yuan raised his placard for the second time: "800,000."
"Eight hundred thousand, number one hundred and sixty-seven, eight hundred thousand!"
The auctioneer's face turned red with excitement, and he wished the bidders would fight on the spot.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan keenly felt that several eyes were falling on him.
Some are curious, while others are full of malicious intent!
But he seemed unknown.
"Eight hundred thousand taels for the second time."
"Eight hundred thousand taels for the third time?"
"make a deal!"
Zhang Yuan originally thought that there would be another fierce competition, but unexpectedly his opponent simply backed off.
Perhaps this price has exceeded the value of the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum itself.
It is also possible that the opponent has other ideas.
In short, accompanied by the sound of the hammer falling, Zhang Yuan successfully bought the lost property of the Wu family for 800,000 taels of silver.
Then, led by the maid, he came to the back of the auction table, paid the corresponding amount, and received the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum in a sandalwood box.
Comparing with the information previously provided by the Wu family, Zhang Yuan can be sure that this is the authentic one.
To be honest, he felt that everything was going too smoothly.
But no matter what, since his goal had been achieved, Zhang Yuan did not stay at the scene.
He left the big tent with the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.
But on the way back to the inn, Zhang Yuan noticed that there were several "tails" behind him.
He was not surprised at all.
Instead, there is a sense of settlement, which is how it should be!
After returning to the inn, Zhang Yuan checked out directly, then led his old horse and walked towards the outside of the oasis.
It wasn't long before he walked out of the oasis.
Mounting his mount, Zhang Yuan galloped towards the southeast.
Only a moment later, several more riders rushed out from the oasis and followed closely behind him! (End of this chapter)
